In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

In this geometry worksheet, 4th graders find 13 words in a word search puzzle. They find words such as convex, prism, cylindrical, and cone which are placed diagonally, vertically, or horizontally in the puzzle.

Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

Fifth graders participate in a class activity that helps them learn some geometric terms along with their definitions. They describe relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes and analyze attributes and properties of...

Students explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In groups,...

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes lesson, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces and edges.

Tenth graders investigate the history of geometry and its different shapes. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders practice seeing three dimensional shapes and explain why there are only five polyhedra. They relate all the new materials...

Students study mirror wells, which are similar to 3-D kalediscopes, but the end is cut off to enable you to look at patterns through them.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

In this math worksheet, students are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

Students explore geometry by defining a list of vocabulary terms. In this shape characteristics lesson, students identify a number of different shapes and discuss the amount of edges, vertices, and faces using the Euler formula. Students...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the lesson, they use the shapes they made and...

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting instructional activity that stretches...
